Body lifts.......

I had new springs put on my truck and didnt go with a lift like I should have. I still want the truck up a 'lil higher and i'm adding new rubber in a couple wks.(32/12.5/15)
Will a body lift to much for me? I really wanted a suspension lift, but man, they aint cheap....
By the way, its a 94 F-150 ext/cab 2x4 /flare side....
Thanks

I have a 79 F250 with a 6in susp lift and 3in body lift. The body lift was cheap. Around $70 with the blocks and new U-bolts.

Go with a 3" body lift, you'll love it!

But get 33" tires instead.

They should fit. I put on 2" front coils and shimmed the bumper out a bit and am running 33's. I will probably install a 2" body lift as well, though, for more clearance. I'm really not a big fan of body lifts (I don't like the gap) - I'd put in a 1" body lift if anyone made one - but it's WAY cheaper than a suspension lift.

they may not clear the bumper even with the body lift sometimes you gotta shim it up some.
